  • Track contract status, maintain systems, and ensure accurate documentation
  • Identify risks and proactively resolve contract or budget issues
  • Contribute to contract templates, playbooks, and process improvements
  • Ensure compliance with internal policies, GCP, and regulatory requirements

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences or related field
  • 1–2 years’ experience in clinical research contracts, gained within Australia and/ or New Zealand at either CRO, sponsor or investigative site
  • Exposure to site contracts and/or budget negotiation
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and tight timelines
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage a variety of stakeholders
  • Detail-oriented with strong problem-solving capabilities
  • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, evolving environment
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (experience with Grants/contract systems advantageous)

Why Join?

  • Work within a globally recognised FSP model supporting an innovative sponsor
  • Exposure to end-to-end clinical contract management
  • Opportunity to build strong stakeholder relationships across global teams
  • Join a collaborative, supportive, and high-performing ICON team
